Language Arts May 20

Wednesday, 5/20

Starter:  none

Assignment:  Disaster Text Analysis - Part II

1.  Use Text Analysis Part I to complete Part II. 

2.  Follow the directions on the handout.  (You will need to get it from me).

3.  You will be required to: 
          *Write a theisis statement.  (A statement that shows what will be addressed).  
          *4 central ideas with 3 supporting pieces of evidence for each  (This will be a combination of 
            information that you documented on your Text Analysis Handout Part 1)
          *make a 9 slide power-point (minimum)
          *Share your power point with me (merlene.ewell@besd.net) in Google Docs
           *Prepare to present your research on your "disaster" to the class

4.  The handout also includes: 
          *The rubric that will be used for scoring your power point and your presentation  

***This was originally done as a group project.  I did not want to waste copies I already had, so please make the following changes to the handout:

          *Put your name, hour, date and topic on the handout
          *Slide #1 needs to include your title, name, hour and date
          *On Part 5, scratch #1 and the second #2 - add talk to the audience on #3
           *Scoring Rubric - Presentation changes
                3 - planned, does not rely on power point/notes, eye contact, loud
                2 - some disorganization/distractions, some power-point/note dependence
                1 - lack of content knowledge, planning, incomplete

***This is an end of year summative/TEST.  You have every opportunity to get full credit if you
      follow the directions, complete the work on time, and meet the outlined requirements. 
      There will not be an opportunity to "fix" your score, or your grade, if you neglect to meet the
       requirements. 

***Your citizenship grade  can go up or down, depending on how well you respect those presenting.
